Patchcord RBLINE LC/APC‑LC/APC duplex 1 m singlemode 9/125 µm 3.0 mm G.652D

RBLINE patchcord LC/APC‑LC/APC duplex 1 m singlemode 9/125 µm 3.0 mm G.652D is a factory-terminated fiber optic cable designed for low-loss singlemode connections. The cable has LC/APC connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration and uses ITU-T G.652D compliant singlemode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding and a 3.0 mm outer jacket. This patchcord is intended for installations that require reduced back reflection and stable optical performance in telecom, data center and network distribution environments.

Advantages

The LC/APC terminations provide angled-polish contacts to minimize back reflection, improving performance for systems sensitive to return loss. The duplex configuration allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels in one compact cable. The 3.0 mm jacket offers mechanical protection and easy handling while the G.652D fiber ensures standard singlemode attenuation and dispersion characteristics suitable for a wide range of optical links.

Suitable for

• Interconnection of telecom and optical network equipment requiring APC connectors
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centers
• Point-to-point singlemode links and short-range metro links
• Optical transceivers and SFP/SFP+ module connections with LC/APC interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode, ITU-T G.652D
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC/APC to LC/APC, duplex
• Length: 1 meter
• Jacket diameter: 3.0 mm
• Polish type: angled (APC) for low back reflection
• Typical use: indoor patching and equipment interconnects

How to use

Install the patchcord by inserting each LC/APC connector into the corresponding APC receptacle until the latch clicks into place, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance. Route the cable through cable managers or trays as needed to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep fiber runs organized.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and use compatible cleaning tools to remove dust or contaminants. Use appropriate cable management and secure connections to avoid physical stress; store unused patchcords coiled without sharp bends. For critical or long-haul links verify insertion loss and return loss with testing equipment after installation.
